The pair have since been to the cinema to see The Greatest Showman and spend evenings and weekends together.

Before a date romantic Dylan presents his girlfriend with a bunch of flowers.

NIGHT AT THE PROM

Victoria, of Raglan, Monmouthshire, said: “There was only ever going to be one girl that Dylan wanted to take to the prom.

“Their school friends think it’s very sweet and we knew they had planned a surprise at the prom.

“The evening was in full swing when we had a call to say Dylan and Amelie had been voted prom King and Queen.

“They both thought it was fabulous.

“It should be the norm that children with Down's syndrome are in mainstream education and go on to jobs and live independently.

“We should be celebrating the fact that Dylan and Amelie are part of the community and part of the school.

“They weren’t picked as prom King and Queen because they have Down's syndrome but because they are really popular pupils and everyone is really happy for them.”

Sports mad Dylan plays rugby and is in the GB Down's syndrome swimming team— currently training for the European Championships in Sardinia in September.

Assistant headteacher Hayley Page said: “Our culture and belief is that every child attends their local school and our aim is that every child can be independent, resilient and able to lead their lives.

“The great esteem held for Dylan and Amelie and their popularity within our Year 11 led to them being voted as Prom King and Queen by their peers.

“This recognises the level of inclusivity and the values held by our school community.”
